Description

A jug with a pinched, beak-like spout, a strap handle and a footed base, its pale surface decorated in dark paint with concentric circles, hooked cross motifs and chevron bands. Dark bands encircle the neck and shoulder, and a chevron motif hangs from the neck. A number label is painted on the body, and the foot has a chipped area at its base.
